World Bank and IMF in emergency BAILOUT talks to save countries from bankruptcy over oil

Really? Nations that were pulling in the cash at consumer expense for years are now facing financial crises because of falling oil prices. They want a bailout!

"Just 18 months ago oil prices were more than $100 a barrel but have plummeted to around $30 today.

Officials
from the IMF and World Bank are now considering giving the country
almost £3billion in cash, according to the Financial Times."

What the hell? When the banks screwed us over we bailed them out. We lost, they kept making record profits. What happened to all of the billions upon billions of dollars they made with excessive oil prices? Was any of it used to deversify their economies? Was it used to help the poor? Did they build better homes and infrastructure? No. The majority of the profits were kept by the leading elite for their own personal gain. And now that profits are down, they want others to keep them in the luxuary they have come to enjoy.

Let's talk conspiracy for a moment. Is it not ironic that oil prices have dropped sharply just as the world was getting serious about alternative energy. With lower oil prices, the more expensive alternatives aren't as attractive. Are the oil barons manipulating public policy once again? Is it possible that the bigger producers are trying to get the smaller players off the field so even bigger monopolies can be forged?

Like a cornered rat, Big Oil and those who profit by it see that an end to their usuary might be in sight. They will do whatever it takes to to save their dominion. In time they will be the suppliers and controllers of alternative energy, the food supply, and information. Hell, they do that now. But this goes back to the sound of silence. Does the world sit idly by and let them make their profits by not only selling their wares, but also by not selling their wares? Are they too big to fail, also?

Perhaps it's just nostalgia, but having recently viewed the Sound of Silence video by the group Disturbed ( https://youtu.be/u9Dg-g7t2l4) , I'm reminded of the power of the lyrics. Not only powerful, but even more relevant today than when first released. I hope you take the time to contemplate the words in light of current events and trends in our society and the world.

SIMON & GARFUNKEL LYRICS

"The Sound Of Silence"

Hello darkness, my old friend,I've come to talk with you again,Because a vision softly creeping,Left its seeds while I was sleeping,And the vision that was planted in my brainStill remainsWithin the sound of silence.

In restless dreams I walked aloneNarrow streets of cobblestone,'Neath the halo of a street lamp,I turned my collar to the cold and dampWhen my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon lightThat split the nightAnd touched the sound of silence.

And in the naked light I sawTen thousand people, maybe more.People talking without speaking,People hearing without listening,People writing songs that voices never shareAnd no one daredDisturb the sound of silence.

"Fools," said I, "You do not know.Silence like a cancer grows.Hear my words that I might teach you.Take my arms that I might reach you."But my words like silent raindrops fellAnd echoed in the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayedTo the neon god they made.And the sign flashed out its warningIn the words that it was forming.And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway wallsAnd tenement hallsAnd whispered in the sounds of silence."

Just watched the X-Files last night. Nice to hear the opening music and to see familiar faces.

Yeah, it picks up where it left off and it felt like it never left the air. While there were some lame episodes in the past, the message is as valid now as it was in the beginning: The truth IS out there.

Here's the thing. There are conspiracies that are not theories. Hilderberg, Bohemian Grove, Skull and Bones, and more exist. Governments do lie. The world is not really governed by political leaders. There are powers behind the thrones that may never be revealed.

So the questions are raised once again: Do aliens exist and what might be their agenda? Is there any alien agenda or is it really the agenda of a secret group?

Mulder has a revelation. It is worth listening to as it raises some very valid concerns and issues. I hope you also listen to the video I posted from Mark Watson, The Sound of Silence. It is germane to this and so many other topics. I look forward to the remainder of the series and hope others will pay heed to the message.
